"SceneCON is an annual meeting of underground computer artists who are members of the famous demo scene. With SceneCON, the organizers aim to follow the two decade old tradition of demo scene parties in Hungary. Yet, with a bit of a twist. This years party was held from the 16th until the 17th of June, 2007. Among its highlights was an extensive demonstration of bplan's EFIKA miniature mainboard running various flavours of Linux as well as a work-in-progress version of MorphOS 2.0. Luckily, the presentation was captured on video. The entire presentation has a total length of nearly an hour with MorphOS 2.0 being featured in the last 14 minutes of it."

I can run Linux with KDE ( or Gnome ) on my x86 system & it'll run better. And how many Linux users run xfce? :-)

Actually most of my friends use it, even on monster machines, as it's a lot more friendly on resources. I use it on a dual-core, 2Ghz machine with 4G RAM :-)

So, buying the Efika to use for Linux certainly is not a selling point. It is mainly intended for MorphOS and that Linux also *somewhat* works on the Efika is just an added benefit.

I own 4 x86 systems and even my oldest one has 256MB RAM ( 2 X P2 350mhz ) and the newer ones have 1GB. 128MB is good for MorphOS, but too little for Linux these days. ( CPU speed won't matter much unless you intend to run cpu intensive programs ).

When properly configured and used with resource friendly applications, like those I mentioned, it works nicely, not just somewhat
